> Can't view his reddit history as I'm in the UK

What does this mean?

It's tagged as NSFW for some reason and I can't be bothered verifying my age

  • just change from www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com and then it doesn't ask you to sign up.

    Does this work in the UK or do they still ask you to verify?

    • No, but just put something like rl.bloat.cat instead of reddit.com. That'll direct to an alternative community maintained interface for Reddit that will work.

It means you can't view people's reddit profiles in the UK.

( Yes, seriously. )

Many many profiles are tagged NSFW, its' not clear why, I can't imagine the majority of those have done so deliberately, perhaps it's automatic for anyone who's posted any NSFW posts ever. ( Which includes people doing so to be funny such as someone posting a huge loss in a sports sub as NSFW. )

  • Recently Reddit also made it possible to private your post and comment history, which I found a surprising number of people already do too (default for new accounts maybe?), so this is about to become a very worldwide experience anyhow :)

    • I've been seeing a lot of profiles have their post history invisible, and thought it was a bug. I tried to search for whether or not this was possible and couldn't find it. I'm elated to hear that this is a thing, as it protects my privacy. Just enabled it (:

      Only thing, shame you can only set these things in new Reddit.

  • As I said it on the OP's comment but I will type it here as well, sorry if it counts as spam but

    just change from www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com and then it doesn't ask you to sign up. (atleast this works in my country)
